I'm having the same issue. When i go to pipeline it links me to download houdini 15.5.632. Which is even older than my last version of 15. In preferences>Houdini Engine it says Version 15.5.632. Is this the only compatible version? I uninstalled 15.5.717 weeks ago after i installed 16.

Any help is welcome.
Thanks!

“It's a feature, not a bug”, you have to install the specific version of Houdini in order for the Pipeline feature to work. Just make sure to install the app itself and not the License Server. That aside I do feel the onus is on Maxon to get us a working bridge to the Houdini Engine via a plugin like all the other apps it plays nice with. The current implementation seems unsustainable given the speed of Houdini's development, and considering how much has changed with 16, I'm wondering if/how badly this will break when using HDAs.

Novice query here (and apologies for the resurrection but this is the only other place I've found asking along these lines): is the license for 16 “backwards compatible” (for lack of a better term) with installs of 15? It doesn't seem to be the case, which means anyone who got on board with Houdini recently is screwed if they want to use HDAs in C4D…
